[The temperature dependence of selection efficiency and the expression of the genes controlling the rate of embryonic development in Drosophila melanogaster].

Abstract excerpt

We have already shown that selection of heterogeneous D. melanogaster populations for the rate of embryogenesis at 32 degrees C may produce populations, in which 50% of the larvae are hatched 20-40 min earlier, i.e., 2-4% more rapidly than, in the control. Highly inbred strains were obtained from the selected populations and develop 5-7% more rapidly than the control populations. Here we studied separately the...
